The Smiths' frontman Morrissey was found hidden in Google Earth over the new year, stood in front of the Salford Lads Club — an iconic building, which was featured in the video for one of the band's most famous songs as well as on the inside front cover image for The Queen Is Dead. The singer was included in the 3D model of the building by landscape architect Ste Allan, who created the design in SketchUp as part of the "Your world in 3D" campaign. The image is very pixellated, but it's obviously Morrissey, stood in his signature arms-folded pose. Other similar easter eggs include the Blues Brothers bridge jump at the Tacony Palmyra Bridge, and crocodile hunter Steve Irwin outside the Sydney Opera House. To take a look for yourself, open up Google Earth and fly to St Ignatius Walk, M5 3RX, with 3D Buildings mode enabled.

There is a place in Google Earth reserved for me and my friends.

I don’t know when they redid the Opera House model, but Steve Irwin’s not there any more. Stingrays got ’em, most likely.

Should have left the rest of the band there too, but still cool :)
